A private Client has no use for their indoor swimming pool anymore. We proposed two schemes, one of which utilises the swimming pool area as part of the existing unit, and rearranges the rooms to improve the entrance situation by introducing a double height atrium space as visual focal point when entering the house, but also as communicative central hub.
An existing two-storey arched window lend itself to introduce a double height atrium space at the end of the entrance hall. This provides light to both the ground and first floor, and serves as communication hub between the two levels whilst bringing the green from the garden inside.
A feature fireplace in the living room defines different zoning, whilst providing a sense of playfulness to both rooms. The level difference emphasizes the zoning and at the same time provides level access to the terrace.
The project is currently at planning stage and we hope to move forward with construction mid 2019.
